Villarreal works on signing a reject from Inter Milan

Villarreal has set its sights on Tajon Buchanan, a player from Inter Milan, as a key reinforcement for the upcoming winter transfer window. Despite Inter's preference for the Canadian to stay in Serie A, the Yellow Submarine aims to convince both the player and the Italian club to move him to Spain, a strategic move that could strengthen Marcelino García Toral's options on the right flank and offensive wings.

Buchanan, 25, joined Inter from Club Brugge earlier this year for €7.3 million. However, his adaptation has not met expectations, with limited playing time in his first half-season and facing a similar situation currently. Despite being a versatile option capable of playing as a right back or winger on both sides, he has not established himself as a key player under Simone Inzaghi's command.

Tajon Buchanan in Villarreal's Sights

Inter's intention to find him a loan move has stirred interest from teams like Fiorentina, Torino, and Monza in Italy, as well as Ajax in the Netherlands. However, Villarreal emerges as one of the most interested contenders to secure his services, particularly given the possible departure of Juan Foyth to Aston Villa. Buchanan could play a significant role, either competing for minutes with Kiko Femenia as a right back or even taking up more advanced positions in the Yellow Submarine's tactical setup.

He would face competition in the attack from players like Yeremy Pino and Nicolas Pépé, but the need to strengthen the squad following Ilias Akhomach's long-term injury could offer him a chance to shine. Currently, Villarreal continues negotiations to finalize a signing that promises to add depth and dynamism to the team.
